ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The book is done. Now comes the part where I get to sit back in my chair and stare at the completed manuscript and think about all the folks who helped me get here. This is where I get to say thank you to all those people who gave so freely of their time, knowledge and good counsel. Ultimately, they got this book into your hands. It had to pass through me first though, so the mistakes are mine. But what I got right, I got right because of them.

So, with that said, thank you David Liss, Gary Goldstein, Jim Donovan, Keith Milstead, Hank Schwaeble, Stephen Rieder, Rhodi Hawk, Robert Jackson Bennett, William E. Smith, Holly Zaldivar, Sanford Allen, Beckie Ugolini, Brian Allen, Thomas McAuley, Max Booth III, Lee Thomas, Kristina McKinney, Clay and Tiffany McKinney, and Joe and Jennifer McKinney. You guys are my inspiration and my bedrock. Thanks for everything!
